Rum Runner / Glencoe 110' subchaser kitbash (1/74th)
Story:
Thumbnail backstory: the wooden hulled 110' WW1 subchasers were sold off at auction in both East and West coast pots. Many were repurposed as "fishing boats" and/or rumrunners [think BOARDWALK EMPIRE] to bring booze in from the 12 mile line to the coastal lighters hidden in coves and such.
This is as far as I got before losing steam at some point during COVID.
Pre-COVID stopping point.
This is what they look like, factory fresh
Story:
I acquired two GLENCOE kits as scrap (art imitates life, once again) - one in brown plastic, the other in light blue.
IIRC, the brown is slated to be a water-line model.
Here's Steve Klein's interpretation - I'm not sure if this is the GLENCOE or the DUMAS kit

That looks like a nice boat despite the kits age. The rum runner probably didn't need all the masts and rigging, either.

Most interesting. Handful of these are in stash, like to see how they turn out. Looking good at this point. :smiley:

:smiley: You definitely have to fit that red caboose on somewhere.
